It seems the bug appears only with _some_ layouts. Unfortunately, I cannot say when and why it does appear. What I could advise you is to try finding another Nepal layout or design your own one using [Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator](http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/tools/msklc.mspx).

P.S. By the way, while searching for the Keyboard Creator link, I found this [interesting page regarding keyboard layouts](http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=inputtoollinks). Could be useful for later reference…

The probability to get it is higher if the computer is loaded at the moment (but I can get it also some times if there is no load).

However, if the first “layout switch” goes well, the BSOD will never appear. It may appear only on the first try to switch.

What is sure is that if I request administrative permissions (which is not a problem to obtain) and damage the Windows I will have to relay on the HelpDesk to pick it up again in working condition and the reason for going down will be revelaed. Afterwords follows a slow and painful conversation with few guys, and if I am lucky death. If not my PC will be put for permanent monitoring, if not already.

As I mentioned I do use a “solution” which to some extend works for me. The solution is a locally based webpage (which could be placed on the net also) with text field and while typing a JavaScript “remaps” the keyboard layout. Nothing fancy, just usefull especially on PCs without permission to install software freely.

My personal knowledge on Windows programing is quite limited, but last wednesday of 2004, as a rebelion act I run a program called “ghost it” in the office. This small application makes/marks/sets one or more Windows/aplications transperant. And now, while writing this post I got this idea that there could be some application for “keyboard remapper” (instead of ghosting windows) which to remap the keyboard layout for all windows “set/chosen” to work with the keyboard remapper. Maybe such application alredy exists.

And something more, I got the problem with the hanging Windows when I tried to use the hotkey combination to switch profiles, and NOT when using the mouse. So the small blue box does not seem to cause the problem. But what was mostly strange, and Doncho is reffering to, was that although Bulgarian Phonetic was not default layout the System hang while trying to log into my profile. With the Bulgarian – BDS layout, which comes with Windows the system works OK.

I guess there is an official way to submit to Microsoft the phonetic layout or at least to make them implement one of their own. I guess it is already time for such measure. Probably 75% of the people, and more than 95% of those under 35 years of age use only Phonetic. And a marketing idea here – there are no keyboards with Bulgarian – Phonetic layout 😉 I always wоnder where is Ю on some keyboards 😉

I noticed (long time ago) that there is some Bulgarian – Latin, which to me seems just like EN. Probably it is my fault buy I did not know that there is Latin Bulgarian Alphabet. No one thought me about that at school.
